Beat the Streak Report: Colbert Challenge, Day 1

In case you haven’t heard, @MLB will face off against Stephen Colbert in a Beat the Streak pick-off from today through Wednesday. If Colbert wins, he’ll control the official Twitter of Major League Baseball for 24 hours.

With a trophy case that already includes the Miriam-Webster’s 2006 Word of the Year, the 2010 Golden Tweet and naming rights to NASA’s snazziest new treadmill, Mr. Colbert clearly has some experience in the contest-winning department. But does he know his baseball?

Check back over the next few days to find out. Or, better yet, make a few picks alongside the man who once ran a presidential campaign sponsored by Doritos.

Current leader CroFranjo survived the weekend unscathed, advancing to 30 games on Adrian Gonzalez‘s 2-for-4 effort yesterday. They’re now just one correct pick short of a tie for the season lead and a scant 27 true selections from the $5.6 million grand prize. We wouldn’t start popping champagne just yet, but feel free to raise a glass of sparkling cider to the big 3-0.

——————————————-Highest “No Selection” :P pg# 9 with streak of 17 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was % with reseting the most.
There was also % PPD due to players not playing. These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.

Not gonna happen. It isn’t the official scorer’s call whether it is a hit or not. Because the umps called it an out, whether or not it was trapped, it an out. The sac is scored cause a run crossed the plate.
